寮Before using the machine for the first time, ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. Please read the separate operating instructions supplied with the appliance..

For safety reasons, spinning is not possible until the machine has been prepared for use for the first time. To activate the spinning function, you must run a wash programme without laundry and without detergent.

Using detergent could result in an exces-sive build-up of foam.

This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a wash programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent.

Running the first programme ĺ Turn on the tap. ĺ Switch on the washing machine with the button.

ĺ Turn the programme selector to Cottons 60°C.

ĺ Press the Start/Stop button. ĺ Switch the washing machine off at the end of the programme.

The machine is now ready for use.

Programme durationAfter the programme has started, the pro-gramme duration will appear in the display in hours and minutes.When Delay start is being used, the pro-gramme duration will appear after the Delay start time has elapsed.

Delay startThe Delay start time selected will appear in the display. After the programme has started, the Delay start time will begin to count down. Once the Delay start time has finished, the programme begins and the estimated programme duration appears in the display.

Programmable functionsThe programmable functions can be used to tailor washing programmes to suit your personal requirements. In programming mode, the display will show the function selected.

Washing environmentally and economically

– To make the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the pro-gramme you are using.

– When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the automatic load recognition system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.

– Use the Express 20 programme for small, lightly soiled loads.

– Modern detergents enable washing at reduced temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Use appropriate temperature settings for saving energy.

– Reduce the amount of detergent with smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than the amount recommended can be used when washing a half load).

– Selecting the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme will save energy when drying in a tumble dryer afterwards.

1. Preparing the laundry ĺ Empty all pockets.

寮Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to garments and components in the machine.

ĺ Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most gar-ments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.

ĺ Pre-treat stains and badly soiled areas (see the booklet "Miele's guide to laundry care").

2. Selecting a programme ĺ Switch on the washing machine with the button.

Switching on Delay Start (if required)

Make sure the programme selector is at the Finish position.

ĺ Press the Start button repeatedly to select the delay time you want.

Programme selection ĺ Turn the programme selector to the required pro-gramme.

The estimated programme duration will appear in the dis-play.

During the first 10 minutes the machine measures how much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The pro-gramme duration may be longer or shorter depending on this absorbency rate.
